Bad summer vacation

[BANDIT ANGEL]

Hi guys,it's summer vacation recently but my nano is terrible. First,three rainbow scans are dead because they are harassed by my yellow tang. Few of the rics "walked" away from their stone and vanished in the tank.
The spiny box puffer and a juvenile gray angel are also deceased because there's ich causing havoc in my tank. I decided to throw the yellow tang in the FOWLR tank but when I am writing this thread the purple,powder blue ,and yellow tang are fighting like medieval knights.
I guess it's just a part of reef keeping but I want to quit now.


Best Regards

first of all, i think this is a bad assumption. keeping a tank should not be stressful as long as you follow a few simple rules.

we need to know specifics about your tank. size? water parameters? lighting? livestock?

I do not keep tangs but i think you may have too many in one tank, unless you have 200 gallons+ i believe those three tangs in one tank without proper acclimation procedures will fight more often than not.

the yellow tang is probably picking at algae on or around the acans. my guess is the acans were receding anyway with algae growing around the edge of the skeleton, yellow tangs are herbivores.

if ich is showing itself in your tank it means the fish are stressed, something is wrong. either bad water quality and/or the fish are not in an optimal environment.

all the parameters are normal, I think the acans are a bit rotten on the sides after one of my filter canister broked and I haven't discover it,as a result the organic substances decomposed and released a astonishing amount of sulfates. After then my acans are acting weird.

As long as everything in normalized now you will find that corals in captivity have an almost astounding ability to bounce back be they sps or LPS, get some water changes going. To help with the tangs if at all possible move around the Live rock some to change the appearance of their territory. Tangs can be super aggressive some times so it may not work. I'd tell you to get a bigger tank to avoid tang fighting but if you take a look at my signature, that would make me a hypocrite LOL!
